Size matters way more than you think — and most people buy too big

[DavidMack]

A 1-ton or 1.5-ton mini excavator can handle 90% of what a homeowner, hobby farmer, or small contractor actually needs. Bigger machines mean:

Heavier trailers (often requiring upgraded tow vehicles)

More fuel consumption

More expensive maintenance

Harder to maneuver through gates, around trees, into tight backyards

Match the machine to your actual projects — not your dream projects.
